Abstract:

In this research, a high-throughput and specific method for the detection of genetically modified (GM) rice events
was developed using fluorescence multiplex PCR and capillary electrophoresis based on fluorescence-labeled primers for
endogenous, exogenous and event-specific genes. The fluorescence multiplex PCR method could specifically detect four
GM rice events with a sensitivity of 0.1%. This method has the potential to be applied in the inspection and quarantine of
import and export genetically modified commodities and in food safety detection.

Key words: multiplex PCR, capillary electrophoresis, genetic modified rice, identification of genetically modified events
